Western Carolina University recently unveiled a new webcam designed to provide visitors with a look at the newly redesigned central campus.

The new camera replaces an old unit that was located behind a glass window, which meant the image often was obscured by glare.

The new camera is located on Balsam Residence Hall and boasts an image size about 50 percent larger than the older model. Color and brightness have improved as well.

The webcam produces a snapshot of the central core area of campus, and the image is updated every 10 seconds. Visitors will need to refresh browsers to see the updated image.

The webcam can be found at uccam.wcu.edu.
